Intro
In a recent interview while attending Jalsa-Germany-2025, a man named Abdul Shakoor told a story about cotton factories owned by Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad in the 1950’s-1960’s around Rabwah. Abdul Shakoor seems to be an asylum case and lives in an around the Frankfurt area in Germany and is affiliated with a local Qadiani-Ahmadi jamaat.

Abdul Shakoor says that many Ahmadi’s who were volunteering as “Waqf-e-Zindagi” were also working at one of the cotton factories. Abdul Shakoor’s father also worked at the cotton factory. Abdul Shakoor says that there was also a cotton factory owned by “Ghair-Ahmadi’s” (Non-Ahmadi’s), just a few miles away. Abdul Shakoor says that his father was doing marketing via meeting and trying to acquire Raw cotton from farmers. Abdul Shakoor says that Mirza Tahir Ahmad was the director of the factory, this is before he became Khalifa. Abdul Shakoor explains how cotton was sold from Karachi by Mirza Tahir Ahmad and his company. Abdul Shakoor explains how he also used to sleep in their companies back offices and Mirza Tahir Ahmad was around. Abdul Shakoor even worked as a personal assistant to Mirza Tahir Ahmad for his tours in Karachi. Whenever Mirza Tahir Ahmad would come to Karachi he would stay at the house of Mubarak Ahmad Khokar, who seems to have married a female descendant of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Abdul Shakoor explains that he worked as the driver of Mirza Tahir Ahmad and drove to and from their house many times. He talks about how Mirza Tahir Ahmad would eat things that were out of season or hard to find like the Sharifa fruit.

At 29:42, he says that Mirza Tahir Ahmad tried to get him hired at PIA, Mirza Tahir Ahmad must have known high level managers and directors. Mirza Tahir Ahmad knew a person named Naseem Shah (who has familial connections to the Mirza family) and he was supposed to take care of all the paperwork. Mirza Tahir Ahmad even personally helped Abdul Shakoor meet the hiring manager at PIA, Aftab. Abdul Shakoor explains how he was made Director of the entire cotton factory via Mirza Tahir Ahmad and Mubarak Khokar and Abdul Shakoor was trained to be in charge.
